Location is where Noon Herald sets itself apart. It’s at the centre of a triangle that has the Vatican, Piazza Navona, and Trastevere as its points. The other big draw is the structure of the flat, with a double-height ceiling and the sloping beams – these help balance out the slightly spartan furniture elsewhere. It would be a good place for someone who is more used to hotels, as there are several services that are more commonly associated with them, such as daily bed turning and clean towels on request.


Home truths:
*There's not much for entertainment beyond the TV.
*The building has a quiet policy between 2pm and 4pm and between 11pm and 8am.
*It's possible you might hear some noise from neighbours during your stay.
*There are a few scuff marks on the walls.
*It's on the third floor and you'll have to use the communal stairs (with no bannisters) as the lift is private.
*There are more steps to climb to reach the mezzanine sleeping space, plus the ceiling up there is quite low.
